WAS IT So. LONDONDERRY!

skate Thorn, in writing of throng-
ed railway depots and having in mind
a certain town says:
The regular travel from this place is
not large, but day after day, and train
after train, these idle, aimless people
throng to the depot; and what possible
end they have in view who can tell?
What reasonable diversion can any
woman find in this sort of thing? We do
not So much wonder at men resorting to
depotS, for they hear the latest telegraph
ic news, and they can spit on the platform
for the ladies to wipe up with their dress
es and they can get a good view of the
ankles of the female travellers, as they
leave the car; but for ladies to frequent
deputs, and push, and elbow, and rush,
and crowd, and act like second-class row.
dies generally, is to us incomprehensible.
Can these young girls who hang around
our depots, day after day without having
any business there, be blessed with sensi-
BILE mothers? Do their fathers take
enough interest in them to inquire width
er their daily walks tend?
Do they, themselves, dream of the way
in which men speak Of them when they
see them dawdling about such public
places, and do they know that they are
almost always reckoned by travellers
among the women who are no better thar
they should be?
Young girls, do not visit railway depots
unless you have business there, for yol
not only injure yourselves, but you are il
the way of people who are obliged to b'
there; and the girl who has a true respec
for herself will never want to be stigma
TIED as depot loafer."
